What makes me laugh so hard at this is that now, three months after this post was made, we know that this is EXACTLY why Ken killed the series early – the publisher was trying to seize control of the series, and the only way he could hold onto it’s rights were to end it early and continue it later elsewhere (which he implied in the final volume in Japan that he intends to do, and that this ending is “one of many options” like Chao’s multiple universes).

Some things are best felt to the imagination. Only sheep-minded folks will rage over something like this. After all, if everything were known about the world, we’d find ourselves extremely bored. Fantasy or reality, the world is only interesting because there’s more to explore and learn about.
